On the transformation of Neo-Confucian thought into a modern philosophical discourse. Reflections on a few aporiae of contemporary Neo-Confucianism One of the manifold destinies of the vast " Confucian " tradition in the course of the 20th century has been its rapid transformation into a modern philosophical discourse, due to the hegemony of the European cultural model. In this respect, " contemporary Neo- Confucianism " has represented a powerful work of re-writing in reference and in opposition to Western, notably German, philosophy. One of the aporiae which such a trend encounters is to be found in the amnesia which by now strikes the particular historical conditions of its own emergence. Through the example of the philosophy of Mou Zongsan, we have attempted to show that the difficulties encountered by this kind of thought are not of a philosophical but anthropological nature : the introduction of a modern disciplinary institution such as academic philosophy has meant simultaneously the destruction of the conditions of possibility of Neo-Confucian practice. In opposition to the illusions of a binary comparatism between " Chinese philosophy " and " Western philosophy ", we suggest the necessity of reflecting, in modern conditions, on the relationship between philosophical discourse and symbolical practices, within a newly " globalized " intellectual space.
